In our opinion, wet shaving with a double-edged razor offers the best possible shaving experience in most cases. Keep in mind that shaving is a deeply personal experience. “The best” blade will vary based on many factors including shaving routine, hair type, and skin sensitivity. 02:25 Blade Characteristics Price Durability & Coatings Country of Origin 06:20 Important Factors for the Shaving Experience Hair type Hair length Skin Type Skill level All of these realities can directly affect which blade you should use, principally as related to the blade’s sharpness.
